NASA saw a huge energy pulse coming out of a black hole and they're excited

NASA's far-reaching telescopes have spotted something that'll change how astronomers view black holes and other destructive objects in space.

The NuSTAR telescope, which is short for Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, caught a glimpse of a massive blast where the black hole's corona launched away from the super massive black hole (not the Muse song) and shot out a bunch of X-rays.

What does that mean in English, basically? This type of event hasn't been witnessed before and it will help astronomers and astrophysicists understand how black holes power some of the brightest objects in the universe. That's what Dan Wilkins of Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Canada thinks. "This is the first time we have been able to link the launching of the corona to a flare," explained Wilkins in a recent interview.

The supermassive black hole, which is known as Markarian 335 is situated in the very centre of our galaxy and is 324 MILLION light years from Earth.

Space, man.
